Current Status of Dark Matter Searches No observation of DM signatures via non-gravitational interactions while many searches/interpretations designed/performed under nonrelativistic WIMP/WIMP-like scenarios merely excluding more parameter space in dark matter models [US Cosmic Visions, Battaglieri et al ( 2017 )] Time e to pause, se, rethink think and redesig design n our approa roach ch/sea /search rch stra rategi tegies, es, e.g., COHER ERENT ENT Way!
